Commercial Protective Coatings - Valence coatings

What materials are used in protective coatings?

Protective coatings are used to safeguard surfaces from corrosion, wear, chemicals, and other environmental factors. The materials used in protective coatings depend on the specific application and the type of protection required. Common materials include:

• Properties: Excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability.
• Applications: Industrial environments, marine coatings, and pipelines.

• Properties: High flexibility, impact resistance, and UV stability.
• Applications: Automotive finishes, floors, and exterior building surfaces.

• Properties: Sacrificial corrosion protection, preventing rust by corroding in place of the base metal.
• Applications: Galvanizing steel, bridges, and marine structures.

• Properties: Quick drying, good weather resistance, and gloss retention.
• Applications: Architectural coatings, automotive topcoats, and decorative finishes.

• Properties: High heat resistance and water repellency.
• Applications: High-temperature equipment, chimneys, and exhaust systems.

• Properties: Good weather resistance, flexibility, and ease of application.
• Applications: General-purpose metal protection, structural steel, and machinery.

• Properties: Rapid curing, abrasion resistance, and waterproofing.
• Applications: Bridges, roofing, and tanks.

• Properties: High thermal resistance, wear resistance, and chemical stability.
• Applications: High-temperature machinery, aerospace components, and exhaust systems.

• Properties: Excellent chemical resistance, low friction, and high durability.
• Applications: Chemical tanks, pipelines, and exterior architectural coatings.

• Properties: Environmentally friendly (no solvents), durable, and resistant to chipping.
• Applications: Appliances, furniture, and automotive parts.
